Your Brain Lies to You Every Day
Your brain lies to you every single day—not to hurt you, but to keep you small. Those lies look different for everyone, but here’s the truth: when you stop listening and start doing what you actually want, success becomes inevitable.
Here’s the wild thing about your brain: it lies to you every single day.
Not because it’s cruel.
Not because it doesn’t want the best for you.
But because it’s wired for safety, not success.
And safety often looks like smallness.
The Sneaky Nature of the Lies
These lies don’t come wrapped in neon signs that say: “Don’t grow! Don’t change!”
No, they show up in sneaky, believable ways. They sound like:
“I’ll start tomorrow.”
“I’m too tired today.”
“I’m not ready yet.”
“What if I fail?”
“This is just who I am.”
And because they feel reasonable, you trust them.
The truth?
They’re not reasonable at all. They’re roadblocks disguised as logic.
Why Your Brain Does This
Your brain’s number one job is survival. Growth, expansion, going after big goals—those things feel risky.
So your brain offers you thoughts that keep you safe, small, and in the known.
But safe doesn’t equal fulfilled. And small doesn’t equal successful.
What Happens When You Stop Listening
Here’s the shift: success is inevitable when you stop listening to those lies and start leading your brain instead.
When you take action even when your brain whispers:
“Don’t post that, people might judge you.”
“You’ll never stick with this workout routine.”
“Better not try, it might not work.”
And instead, you say:
“I’ll post anyway.”
“I’ll show up for myself today.”
“I’m willing to see what’s possible.”
That’s when everything changes.
The Truth That Sets You Free
Your brain will always offer lies to keep you small.
But you don’t have to believe them.
When you choose to do the thing you actually want—not the thing that feels “safe”—your life can’t help but expand.
Because the real truth is this:
Your success isn’t about talent, luck, or timing.
It’s about whether or not you listen to your brain’s lies.
Success is inevitable when you don’t.
3 good ways to look at failure
How willing are you to fail?
When you're striving to achieve a new personal or professional goal, make a life change, develop a new habit, or transform yourself, failure is going to happen!
You are human, remember!
But, failure doesn't have to be dreadful, in fact, it can be a great thing!
It took me years to truly believe this—years and a lot of money spent on coaches to help me change my belief about failure.
I actually went from believing "I am a failure" , to believing, "failure doesn't exist"!
This is how I want you, my clients, everyone I meet, and especially my daughter to view failure when attempting to reach a new goal.
So, here are 3 shifts I made in helping me change my belief about failure.
Happy Day Everyone!
Failure is always a loaded topic with clients so I want to help everyone see it a bit differently.

I actually went from believing "I am a failure" , to believing, "failure doesn't exist"!
This is how I want you, my clients, everyone I meet, and especially my daughter to view failure when attempting to reach a new goal.
So, here are 3 shifts I made in helping me change my belief about failure.
1. Failing is just information.
Failing is learning. It means you tried something and didn't get the result you wanted. It doesn't mean you are going backwards or you are incapable. It just means that road didn't get you there so you need to try a new road.
Along the journey make sure you assess what is working, what isn't working, and what you will do differently then keep going with that information.
This is key!
2. Failure just means you are taking action, which builds resilience and momentum.
Failing means you are taking the risks needed to get the new result in your life you want. Congratulations! Facing and overcoming failure builds mental and emotional resilience. Each failure tests your commitment and persistence toward your goals. In that journey you are becoming more of who you were meant to be. Again, congratulations! The opposite of failure is doing nothing. You are no longer pursuing your goals when you do nothing.
If you allow it, failure also teaches you to handle setbacks with grace and determination.
Would you rather fail taking action or take no action at all and get zero results?
3. Failing is saving you time.
Yes, failing saves time. Failing means you will never go down that road again. You will know it didn't work OR you will redo it in a way that could work better. Failure can create efficiency if you allow it to.
I look at every failure as it is just information. That I am learning. I am getting closer to learning what the path is to my next goal. That I am taking action and I will eventually get to the result I want. This creates excitement and curiosity!
That's it!
This is what I do for my clients as well.
I hold belief that they can achieve any goals they desire.
So failing is just information of what isn't working. As long as they keep at it, in time, the results will come!
But it always starts with what you are believing about your failures.
Belief matters.
If you are not willing to put yourself out there and risk failure then you probably aren't succeeding at the level you could.
